My wife mentioned this as a halloween costume. I'm thinking a dildo through the hole instead of a thumb as I hold the palette at waist height would be the only way to make it remotely interesting.

By adding yourself to a costume it already has a **** in it. Possibly an injured one that doesn't look as fit as last year, maybe you should start a thread?

My uncorrected vision is worse than what yours was. But it's held steady for the last three years. Thinking seriously about Lasik. At my last eye doc appointment, he said I'd be a candidate. Just gotta pull the trigger.

My wife got lasik and loved the results and the surgery was easy as can be and the recovery was a piece of cake. Everything about it was awesome. Except the cost. I think it was a little over 4,000 bucks

I would happily pay 4k to get rid of my glasses. Wearing glasses is more limiting than people think. I finally bought a band to hold them on my head when I go to the beach so I can just run out in the water with everyone else instead of finding some place to put my glasses and then hope they don't get scratched from the sand. My son lost a pair on a roller coaster because he didn't want to see it blurry, and they of course flew off his face. I could go on and on. Believe me I know that glasses are a modern-day miracle, I could not imagine being in the middle ages with eyesight like mine, I would probably not have lasted much into my 20's, other than the fact that I am awesome.
 
I started wearing glasses in 2nd grade, and my eyes worsened so much that I had to get new glasses every 6 months until I was 14, when I started wearing contacts (the greatest invention ever). I've never really learned to swim, because being in water is the most helpless feeling for me without either glasses or contacts. I can't do Lasik because my eyes are too bad and the outcomes aren't great. Not worth the risk as I would be guaranteed to have the side effects and probably couldn't drive at night.

I've had to go back to wearing glasses the majority of the time due to borderline glaucoma and other eye issues, and I hate it. But I am grateful for them, because without them I wouldn't be able to function at all.
 
I have an eye condition called keratoconus and recently got scleral contacts. They are large contacts that don't directly touch your cornea. They vault over your cornea and you fill them with a solution that essentially eliminates the irregularity of my cornea. They work okay. I had better vision with glasses.

I wore glasses for about 14 years. Never once had them come off my face by accident.

Whoa! Never met somebody else with Keratoconus before.

I had one eye that rapidly declined. Couldn’t be corrected, not with glasses or contacts. Eventually went and got surgery in Canada because in the US it was considered experimental, even though they’ve been doing it for decades. PRK + X-linking. Worked wonders.

Someone on my street has hung a confederate flag on their garage today.

Actually, this is stronger than a pet peeve. It makes me ill.

Probably couldn't get the permit for the burning cross, give them time...

That is a way in which america is very different to here almost nobody has an Australian flag out the front of their house, ever, I like that. However the number of people who complain about the Aboriginal flag being flown at my work next to the Australian flag ***** me.

Does the guy have any connection to the South or does he just want to make sure people know he misses the days when black people were slaves?

I don't get anyone not from the South even slightly being able to justify why they display the loser Confederate flag other than racism. I mean I don't even buy it when they are from the South, but how can I argue against their "heritage" BS?

I dont think he is from the south but im not sure.
He tried to explain it to me once and it was all about patriotism and pride and blah blah blah.

He is also a flat earther and i dont know if i would call him a trumpster or not but i know he hated hillary a lot. (Hating hillary in no way makes someone a trump fan imo though)
 
I don't know this particular neighbor, so I have no idea where he is from. This doesn't make me want to seek an acquaintance.
